Starting a business has always been a part of the American Dream, and many Americans still would like to fulfill that dream and become their own boss. Consider these five signs you're ready to go out on your own:

In the history of business, this happens to be an amazing time to start your own enterprise. Of course the economy is a bit rough right now; no doubt about that. And yes, that's a challenge.
